arfur mo Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Tamper return is neg hold off for your 2nd box. hi whistle, not keen on that solution mate as it drops the voltage to the second siren, better to use the aux tamper loop for the second bell, using neg out terminal side to bell and return to make the tamper loop complete. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

The Arab Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Or you can use a relay give it a positive feed to one side of the coil then take the negitive return from one siren and put it in the negitive side of the coil with the other siren put the negitive from it to the common conection of the relay then take a wire from the n/o connection up to the bell hold off.But if using this method relay may burn out as is active all the time Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellman Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 id wire the 2 bells on their own 1 tr to the bell tamp or what ever your panel calls it..the other to a zone..helps with fault finding etc *QFA* Galaxy has a specific zone type for this as do several other panels. If not just program it as a 24h zone and enter a descriptor like "side bell tamper" Regards Bellman Service Engineer and all round nice bloke ) The views above are mine and NOT those of my employer.
